As you may have seen elsewhere on this site Ground Zero Wrestling’s (GZW) debut show at the Grand Olympic was canceled. This shouldn’t really come as a surprise to a lot of people since the show was in question from the very beginning. The situation with this show is part of the overall problem in […]

I went to UPW’s Rough Cut the other night, and while it was a average show there is one thing I think UPW can really improve on. That is putting their title over. Samoa Joe is a good wrestler, and he has what I think is the longest current title reign in any of SoCal’s […]

Okay, so there haven’t been many shows going on lately. so I’m going to do something fun. Umm, I’m going to review each group in SoCal with both “pros“ and “cons“ listed. Keep in mind that this is purely based on personal opinion, and not that of SCU. Also another thing: I know shit about […]

“Japanese women workers can put a lot of men wrestlers to shame in the ring.” — Dynamite Kid Coming from the Dynamite Kid himself, you’d have to trust him if you were a wrestling fan. With ARSION being announced as the special attraction match at Revolution Pro’s Revolution J: Destiny, some SoCal fans are beyond […]

“In our youth our hearts were touched with fire.” -Oliver Wendell Holmes, May 30th 1884 I find those words, written about the Civil War, just as fitting now as they were then. Our lives have forever been changed. Our World will never be the same. The images of Tuesday will never leave us, and forever […]

I don’t know if I’m right on this one, but during these past 3 weeks, the biggest piece of news going around SoCal is the whole “Messiah thing“. For those who don’t know, Messiah was a staple in the XPW roster, and held two titles in his tenure there. In fact, when he left, he […]

I was hand picked by the “Voice” himself, Lonnie Hill to take a slot here at SCU. I did not ask or beg to be affiliated with the site. While I’m glad that I was asked, things would have been just fine if I stuck to posting on the boards. In fact, I will still […]

A lot of people have said to me over the last few months “What does Lonnie do for the site? He never writes anything. You do all the work.” Let’s set the record straight. If there was no Lonnie, there would be no SCU. Lonnie is what brought people to the site. Lonnie was the […]

Alright, so Lonnie Hill left SCU due to personal shit. I mean, shit, that’s cool. What’s there to say about the infamous “Mr XPW,” “Mr ECW,” “Mr Hill”? Well, there’s a lot. Like he said in his farewell, he said we’d been friends for a while. So yeah, I mean, he’s a friend. a good […]

I guess it’s time to follow suit. Just like Adair Cole and Adam Marantz left their spots as journalists in this scene, I think it’s time for one more to throw in the towel, hang up the keyboard, and give one final goodbye to the scene. My reason for leaving is simple: I was a […]

There has been a lot of complaints about XPW’s show last Saturday. A lot of fans have wanted more technical matches, yet when XPW put on a show with almost all technical matches everyone complained. Why? Well, I’ll tell you why. There is a huge difference between technical wrestling and “garbage” wrestling. I am one […]

This is a pretty big week here in SoCal. UPW ran it’s monthly Galaxy show on Wed. and on Saturday both XPW and Rev Pro are running. This weeks Revolution Pro show looks like it will be much improved over last weeks. Last week a few things factored together to make a pretty bad show […]

California Championship Wrestling owner Charles Gibbs officially announced the end of CCW last week. Most people knew that CCW had come to an end. Unofficially it had ended when the bell rang when Crayz had beaten Wild Thing Eric Studd for the CCW Hardcore Title on June 30th. While CCW may never run another show, […]

Well looks like I’m popping up everywhere, does that mean I’ve got POP? OK bad joke. Since this is SoCal UNCENSORED let me SHOOT my fucking mouth off. What I love most of all about SCU is the monthly rankings. It seems like the rankings are geared more toward personal likes and personal favorites then […]
